[Bug 910392] Re: Installation hangs during "configuring target system"

[Sven Berkvens-Matthijsse]

I tried installing Oneiric on an Asus EEE PC900, and at first it failed,
hanging at "Configuring target system".

I tried recovering from the console, but that did not work. I checked
what was happening at the time of the hang:
/usr/share/ubiquity/installplugins.py was waiting for input on file
descriptor 0. That file descriptor was a pipe, the other end was
ubiquity. I killed installplugins.py, but then the installer (correctly)
indicated that something went waywire and went into bug submission mode.
Perhaps something wrong with one of the debconf sequences?

Then, I attempted to install Oneiric again. This time, I did everything
the same as before, except that I did not check "upgrade packages while
installing" on the start screen. This time, the installation proceeded
perfectly. It seems that there is something different with one of the
packages that is upgraded from the network versus the software on the
CD.
